    There is a hill in Castleknock and this is how it was made:-
    Kings used to be buried there and every time people would pass by they would throw sand or stones on the graves and thats what made the hill.
    There is another hill and it is very old.
    Long ago there used to be a castle on top of it and in it lived a King and Queen One day the Queen was standing in the Castle and she saw soldiers coming for attack her so she cut her throat with a golden pen
